Does anyone else subscribe to the theory that there was no plane crash? Several people on the plane covertly drugged the others and then took control of the plane to fly it off its route. Hallucnogenic drugs and an elaborate set up of crash wreckage gave those awakening on the beach the impression that they had survived a plane crash.

Here is a teaser that Damon Lindelof threw at us last month. In it he says we will find out why the plane crashed.

----------------------------------------------------------------TODAY'S COMMENTARY Monday, July 25th 2005 Sensational Sneak Preview of Lost By Ed Martin What's in Store on Television's Most Talked About Drama

Beverly Hills, CA - From the opening moments of the first episode of its sophomore season, Lost won't waste a minute in providing further information about the major storylines on the show. What's at the bottom of that tunnel? Who are the Others? What the heck is the island all about, anyway?

"Right out of the gate we're addressing some of the big mysteries of the island," Lost co-creator and executive producer Damon Lindelof tells MediaVillage.com. "We'll go right inside the tunnel, and what you'll see in there changes everything."

Indeed, whatever they discover in that tunnel "will change the fundamental state of existence" of the characters, Lindelof continues. Viewers won't see quick glimpses of strange things but rather will get a good long look around.

"We're erring on the side of giving away too much rather than too little," Lindelof says. "They found that hatch in episode 10. Thirteen episodes later they opened it up. It's got to be good."

What the characters won't find inside, Lindelof promises, are aliens, a time travel portal or "a ship they can blast off in." Whatever is in there will involve those mysterious numbers that led to Hurley's lottery win and streak of bad luck in that character's famous backstory.

"Right from the start, in the season premiere, the numbers become a fundamental plot point for the season," Lindelof says. "People aren't going to be disappointed in how we use them."

He says the producers of the show wanted to make certain that whatever the characters find inside the tunnel will be "great, cool and risky." But, Lindelof cautions, he can "guarantee some people are not going to like what they find in there."

While some characters are exploring the tunnel, others will be dealing with the aftermath of the destruction of the raft and the kidnapping of little Walt by a band of creepy men who are presumed to be among the community of Others on the island.

Who survives , how they survive, where they end up and how they reconnect with the other characters" will drive the story through the first seven or eight episodes next fall, Lindelof adds. Lindelof also confirms that the character played by newcomer Michelle Rodriguez will be someone who was seated in the back of the plane when it exploded and has been living on another part of the island. He will not say whether she has been living alone or with other survivors.

He also says that Boone, the one main character who died last season, will definitely stay dead. "So many times in genre shows when you kill someone off they come back. On Lost the rules are different. When you're dead, you're dead!" Lindelof declares.

The other big nagging mysteries in the story - why did Ethan kidnap Claire, what happened to her while she was held prisoner, what if anything happened to her baby - will be addressed later in the season, Lindelof says. "But we have bigger priorities first: The hatch and Walt's kidnapping."

He says the story about the kidnapping of Walt is especially intense, because "a child taken from a parent by strangers is the scariest thing of all." When the Others take Walt, there is no Amber Alert, no Fox News Channel and CNN reporting the story, nowhere for his father to get help. There is only fear, frustration and rage. Early episodes, Lindelof says, will deal with the repercussions of this harrowing incident.

"That is the big mystery of the island," Lindelof explains. "Who are these other people and what do they want?"

Lindelof welcomes ABC's decision to move Lost from 8 to 9 p.m. ET on Wednesday, because more people are available to watch television. He also thinks the show is "very intense" and says, "children should not be watching," which they are apt to do at an earlier hour.

"By the finale of season two viewers will know why the plane crashed," Lindelof says. He envisions Lost running "somewhere in the neighborhood of 4-5 seasons."

"I know what the ending is," he concludes. "At a certain point you can only stall so long."

Whatever >is in there will >involve those mysterious numbers that led >to Hurley's lottery win and >streak >of bad luck in that character's >famous backstory. Interesting, .... maybe a reality/CHANCE device that controls chance events interacting with 'reality'.... Just a thought

I personally don't believe they are in purgatory, mostly because the writers/creators have assured us they aren't. But, this is Lost, and anything could happen. Some of the actors also don't think they are, either. Here is what some of them said about it.From: http://comingsoon.net/news/topnews.php?id=10840Yunjin Kim (Sun): I'll tell you what I don't like. Purgatory, I don't like. I don't like to think we are already dead and this is for nothing. Why are we running around away from the monsters, if we're already dead.Emilie de Ravin (Claire): I've heard this from people, so many different theories as far as Purgatory or we're just all dead. I kind of like personally that we are here for a reason and we're each meant to figure out what that is which will then lead us to a way out or a way back, somewhere, I'm not sure where that is yet(laughing), but we have to be there for some reason.

My theory is that they are actually on a reality TV show! It's Survivor the way it should be played - the last person left alive wins!! The Others, monster, polar bear, tunnel, etc are all Immunity Challenges except that there is no voting anyone off the island - the only way off is in a body bag!!

I'm actually only half joking. I would really hope this isn't the explanation for everything, but it could be a possibility. In fact, I would welcome it over a Purgatory or parallel-universe scenario.

I doubt it's the answer, but the best I was able to come up with was the purgatory theory and I like this much better!

Lol love the different senario's for lost. There is nothing better than a show that makes peoples minds work overtime. I love this show everytime ya think gee maybe....there's a change and it ruins your ideas.
